Somebody to love...

Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
...
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
...

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

That of course was by Queen. I love Queen, but don't generally think of them as having been all that deep. I always think of fun when I think of them. So the sadness of this song tends to take me by surprise. Yes, every time I hear it. 

One of my favorite lines: I just keep losing my beat. Haven't we all felt that at some point? I know I certainly have. 

This song also brings to mind a question. Loving others is supposed to be more fulfilling than being loved. I don't argue that and no one bats an eye when people search for someone to love. But what about searching for someone who will love you? Is it somehow selfish to undertake that search? Because it seems to me that finding somebody to love is easier than finding someone who will love you back. 

An interesting read...

Though I think I read a decent variety of books, I still feel the need to say that this book is a somewhat different read for me. I am enjoying it though and I do recommend it.
